Pyrum Innovations AG has received the unlimited delivery approval from Continental for the Pyrum recovered Carbon Black (rCB) from the plant in Dillingen/Saar
As part of the Continental audit, Pyrum successfully carried out the process capability analysis for the two new lines in recent weeks. The analysis serves to evaluate the short and long-term process stability. The values determined show a long-term capability (Cpk) of 2.16 for TAD 2 and 2.70 for TAD 3 as well as a short-term capability (Ppk) of 2.49 (TAD 2) and 3.38 (TAD 3). The results are above the required standard values specified by the automotive industry (Cpk: 1.33; Ppk: 1.67).
On this basis, Continental has granted Pyrum authorisation to supply Pyrum rCB from TAD 2 and TAD 3. The audit was necessary in order to grind the TCU (raw coke) from the two new lines in the existing mill into rCB and then deliver it to Continental for use in tyre production. With the approval for the shredder plant granted at the beginning of 2024, Pyrum has now received unlimited delivery approval for the entire plant in Dillingen/Saar with the additional delivery approval for TAD 2 and TAD 3.
Pascal Klein, CEO of Pyrum Innovations AG said; “We are extremely proud to have reached this significant milestone together. After three years of intensive work, we have now received unlimited approval for our plant in Dillingen. We owe this in particular to the valuable experience gained from the commissioning of TAD 2 and TAD 3 and the tireless commitment of our entire team. We are proud to fulfil the high criteria of the automotive industry and look forward to working closely with Continental. The approval that has now been granted is the cornerstone for a significant increase in sales next year.”
Pyrum is now planning to further increase rCB volumes by installing the new grinding and pelletising plant. The foundations for the grinding hall were completed on schedule at the end of October. In addition, the steel construction is currently being tendered. All plant components for the grinding plant have already been delivered and stored in Dillingen. Installation is planned for the first quarter of 2025 due to the technical integration with the pelletising plant.
